Biocrime, the Internet-of-Ingestible-Things and Cyber-Biosecurity
As biotechnology continues to develop and the way that science is practised evolves, so too does the nature of crime. Our chapter discusses how a crime science lens can be used to identify new forms of offending that might be facilitated by synthetic biology and related biotechnology with the aim of developing informed strategies to prevent them through an active design process. We use an example of a future biotechnology crime – bio-malware – as identified through multiple methodologies employed, including a systematic review and a Delphi study, to demonstrate our hyBrid hAcKathon dElphi (BAKE) framework and its prospect toward a cyber-biosecurity by design policy.
